SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.'347,641, dated August 17, 1886. Application filed November 2'i,15t3.i. Serial No. 183,960. (No model.)

.To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM A.Porn, a citizen ofthe United States of America, residing at Oshkosh, in the county of Winnebago and State of Visconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Holders for Blacking Boxes and Brushes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descrip; tion ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertai ns to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figa part of thisspeciiication.

My invention relates to certain new and uscful improvements in blacking box and brush cases, the object of the same being to provide a blaeking-case or footlstand with a compartment in which the blacking-brush may be kept, so that when the brush is drawn out the box containing the blaoking will be moved out of its compartment and to one side of the blackingstand, as will be hereinafter fully set forth. l

My invention consists in the construction and combination of the parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth,and specilicall y pointed. out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings,which illustrate my invention, Figure 1 is a perspective view ot' a blaeking case or brush and box holder constructed in accordance with my in vention. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view, and Figi. 3 is a horizontal section taken on the line x of Fig. 2.

A refers to a rectangular box or receptacle, which is provided` on its top with a foot-rest, B, the same being rigidly attachedthereto. The sides of the box A, a slight distance above its bottom, are provided with longitudinal recesses a ,within which slides the board C, said board having attached thereto end pieces, D D', which are braced'thereto by in- The end D is provided at its upper end with a slot, E, which is of a sufficient depth and width to receive the handle of the Hacking-brush, and at the same time permit the handle of the brush to prograsped when it is desired to open the drawer and remove the blacking-brush. The box A as to provide an opening, F, and the bottom board of the box A is provided with acurved slot, f.

Adjacent to the opening F,between the side and bottom board of the box, is pivotally at tached a circular casting or frame, which is provided on one side with a projecting portion, g, through which the pivot which se` cures the same to the box passes,and this casting is also provided with a projecting port-ion, g', which is beveled at one side and provided with a perforation, through which passes a bolt which connects the saine with the bar H, the opposite end of said bar being pivotally connected to the under side of the board C.

It will be noticed that the casting or blacking-box holderG is connected to the bar H by a knuckle-joint, and that when the sliding drawer' is opened the bar H will be moved forward, so as to throw the casting G through the opening F and to one side of the box A.

The casting G is provided on its upper side with three or more upwardly-projecting pins, iz', which embrace the sides of the blackingbox and hold the same in .position upon the casting, and the under side of the casting G is provided with a downwardly-projecting pin, i', which enters the segmental slot f in the bottom of the box when the blacking-box lies within the box A. This pin tis located on the casting G opposite the projecting portion g, and serves as a leg or support for the casting and blacking-box wh-en the box is in position for use.

It will be seen by the construction hereinbefore set forth that when the drawer in the box A is opened, so that the blacking-brush can be taken therefrom, the blacking-box will be by the movement of the drawer brought to one side of the box in a convenient position for IOO vided with asliding drawer' and an opening, F, under the same, and a pivoted blaeking-box holder attached to said receptacle and connected to the bottom of the drawer, substantially as shown, and for the purpose set forth.

3. The improved blackingstand provided with a sliding drawer, one ofthe ends thereof having an opening, F, in the same, through which projects the handle of the blaekingb1usl1,wl1e1eby the drawer may be operated by the handle of said brush, substantially as shown, and for the purpose set forth.

4. The blaeking-stand, for the purpose set forth, provided with a sliding drawer and be-
